I knew a guy named Homer Langrill from Switzerland. Not from Las Vegas. Homer Langrill was born in Los Angeles, California in 1953 to James and Nancy Langrill. Homer Langrill is a graduate of Colonia High School, Colonia, New Jersey. At the age of 17 yrs,' Mr. Langrill was the lead vocalist for the recording group, The Orient Express. He has a Platinum album and two gold 45's to his credit. When Langrill was 27 years of age, he purchased a Bank in Hong Kong, the Security Overseas Bank and eventually moved to Switzerland where he was the owner of a private investment bank. In his spare time, Langrill went to Culinary School and eventually ended opening several restaurants in Europe while maintaining his banking empire. He also taught culinary arts at the Academie Culinaire de France. Concurrently, Langrill was voted a Director of the International Monetary Exchange in Washington D.C. In the winter of 1984 Langrill became involved in the political scandal known as the Iran- Contra, Iran Scam Affair. While in the country of Guatemala, delivering approximately $17,500,000.00 in Iranian currency to the head of the Nicaraguan Conta Rebel Leader Lorenzo Lacayo; Langrill, and two of his associates Hernando Giraldo Gaveria Escobar and Jack Charles Turner were kidnapped at gun point. There, they were all brutally beaten, tortured and left for dead in Granja Penal de Pavon, a prison in Guatemala City notorious for housing political prisoners. In December of 1995, and through the help of friends, family and prison insiders, Langrill and his associates made a daring midnight escape, fleeing to the country of El Salvador. Upon his arrival back into the United States, Langrill was indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia for his role in the Iran Contra, Iran Scam Affair. Upon conclusion of a long court process, Langrill plead NO Contest to (1) charge of a (45) count indictment and was sentenced to serve (5) years in Federal Prison. While incarcerated, Langrill spent most of his time traveling from one prison to the next, teaching inmates the fine art of cooking. In 2004, Langrill was nominated and unanimously became a Vice Chairman of President George Bush's economic advisory council. Langrill was the owner of two restaurants in Las Vegas, Nevada, is the president of a small investment house assisting entrepreneurs in business development, and he is also the founder of the La Bon Table product lines of "au" Le Cadeau Natural Mountain Spring Water, Chef Homer Gourmet Dinner Entrees, and the Z CAC Controlled Atmosphere Cargo Container which was recently sold to SIPP International Industries, Inc. for $7,000,000.00. But, his success didn't come easy. He has been slandered on blogs as such as investorshub.com and hotstockmarket.com by people who attempted to use his past criminal history against him for extortion and black mail purposes. Langrill and others filed civil complaints against these individuals. The case has since been dismissed because Langrill and Le Bon Table shareholders chose not to pursue them civilly, but opted to go after them criminally. Today, Langrill is completing pre production of a instructional cooking show to be aired world wide in seven different languages. He resides in Las Vegas, Nevada and is a big proponent of internet slander, the Juvenile Diabetes Association, the Nevada Diabetes Association, and the Republican Party.
